We have p2p metro-ethernet link between a 65kVSS and N7k running eigrp..
I wanted to monitor this link and forward the traps to SNMP server in the event of failure..
N7k and 65k has many other eigrp peers..but I wanted to monitor only this particular peers over p2p link...
so decided to monitor this particular eigrp neighbhorship..
Can we use EEM and write an applet to match the nighbhor down on the syslog and then forward the log to snmp?

So I planned to write an applet which will forward an snmp trap for Neighbor 10.45.255.133 (Vlan777) is down:
Does this idea sound good..Can you give me some tips in achieving this ?
event manager applet P2P_Link_Failure <Creates and registers the applet with EEM>
event syslog pattern "Neighbor 10.45.255.133 (Vlan777) is down" <Configures syslog event detector to match the error message>
action 1.0 snmp-trap strdata "Neighbor 10.45.255.133 (Vlan777) is down"
action 1.1 syslog priority Emergency msg "P2P Link Failure"
